Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the 21st century, nanomaterials have emerged as a focal point of interdisciplinary research, spanning fields such as materials science, biomedicine, and environmental engineering, owing to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. Particularly in the context of the escalating global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the research and development of advanced antibacterial nanomaterials hold significant scientific value in frontier areas such as biomedicine, environmental science, and plant protection.
This Special Issue focuses on the design, controlled fabrication, and innovative applications of nanomaterials in the field of antibacterial research, covering, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Structural design and functionalization strategies of nanomaterials;
- Novel nanomaterials and new processes;
- Mechanisms of action and biocompatibility of antibacterial nanomaterials;
- Antibacterial applications of nanomaterials in fields such as medicine, food packaging, and plant protection;
- Applications of computational simulations and artificial intelligence in the research and development of antibacterial nanomaterials.
We look forward to receiving your manuscripts and collaborating with you on an impactful Special Issue.
Dr. Fei Pan
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antibiotics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
